ETAuto BureauNEW DELHI: Audi has recorded an increase of 2.7 percent in August 2015 sales, compared with corresponding period last month, after delivering a total of 1,28,650 cars.

The weaker economic development in markets such as China (-4.1 percent) or Russia (-15.4 percent) was offset particularly by the strong demand in Europe (+6.9 percent) and the Americas (+10.0 percent).

“Even in the face of highly volatile key markets, Audi further increased its global sales in August. At the same time we are preparing to step up the pace with our broad model and technology drive,” says Luca de Meo, Member of the Board of Management for Sales and Marketing at AUDI AG.

“With the new Audi A4 and the Audi e-tron quattro concept we will be presenting two important flagships for our innovation strategy at the International Motor Show in Frankfurt”, he added.

Global sales of the new Audi TT, which is available now in all major markets, tripled in the past month to around 2,350 units.
